Kick Compromising to the Curb

I feel like the last week has been one big emotional rollercoaster for me. Satan has been coming at me from every angle and trying his absolute hardest to throw me off track. It's like the closer I get to God, the harder it gets. You think it'd be the opposite, but no. The only difference is that it gets a little easier to resist the things he tempts me with. He's definitely turned up the heat this past week, and it's taking everything within me to flee. To be honest, he's really wearing me down. I've been entertaining thoughts that I know I shouldn't. I really feel like one of the biggest tools Satan uses is compromising. He'll send me thoughts like, "It's okay for you to go out with them for just this one night and drink. It's not like you're getting high. You don't even have to get that drunk." When these thoughts come, I'm left with two options. #1 - I can agree with the thought, and go with it, convincing myself that it's really not that big of a deal. Or #2 - I can recognize the thought for what it is, reject it, and tell Satan to leave me the hell alone. Why is it so hard to choose option #2 sometimes? Why do we fall for the trap of compromising? When I compromise, I'm making a deal with Satan and settling for less than what God wants for me. How stupid is that?! I pray daily that God gives me eyes to see through Satan's tricks and for strength to resist them. Even though I've felt down this week, I know that God is stronger and faithful to come through on my behalf. It sucks feeling lonely and like you're missing out on all the fun that comes with sin, but we've got to trust that what God has for us is so much better and more fulfilling.
